Grumblehumanresourcesgrrr
One more assignment,
One more assignment to do-ooh!
One more assignment,
Just one more assignment to do.

Boring, boring, boring. One more. Due Tuesday. Come on, Ata, stop berating yourself for not having started it before today, and just get the thing done!

Stupid stupid silly Ata. She did not realise what the point of the subject was until last Wednesday. Seven weeks of classes, and it only occurs to her now. No wonder the lecturer had that odd expression when Ata asked a couple of questions after the class. Given that Ata suddenly just now realises what the subject is about, the questions she asked are, well, more or less irrelevant.

Surely I have a defence! I was Mislead! Misguided! Misinformed! I thought the subject title meant one thing, and the subject itself seemed like every other subject I have done this year, so I figured it was about what I thought it was about. Admittedly, I did wonder why we were spending So Much Time on service level agreements, but... still, it took me weeks to work out that the whole point of the subject was, basically, outsourcing. If they had called it "Managing Outsourcing of Human Resources Functions", I would have known. I would have understood. But noooooo - they had to call it "Managing Human Resources Consultancy Services."

I have to go. Mr Ata is back with food, and he cannot know I was blogging instead of working.

    Just keep sending Mr Ata out for more food, Ata.
    You have to keep your strength up to do the assignment properly.

    And this last entry in your blog cannot be called "blogging". It is quite clearly you asessing the relevant content of the course prior to completion of your assignment.

    Oh, I thought it was stream of consciousness blogging as experienced by misled students. I think you should ask for a refund, seeing that the teaching is so cryptic that the topic of the lecture was only revealed after 6 weeks. Or perhaps the whole point of the excercise was that oursourcing needs to be kept quiet.

    Methinks you may be spot on, Biped...
